Download or read book Found Lost Found Poetry and Visual Poetry written by George McKim and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Found & Lost is a collection of repurposed and remixed Found Poetry and Visual Poetry. George McKim has repurposed and remixed the work of poets ranging from Tristan Tzara to Lyn Hejinian and has transformed their words into a fascinating collection of strangely haunting Found Poems. Augmenting these poems are fourteen vintage dictionary pages that have metamorphosed into full color Visual Poems. "Using poetic trinkets from its own ancestry, McKim's Found & Lost builds us a reconstruction fit for 21st century literary exploits. McKim's poems stir up and resettle our generation's shared modern heritage with a subtlety and grace fit for veneration while opening itself to a playful audience in the way an old familiar playground greets a neighborhood child. These poems are true pleasures." J.D. Mitchell-Lumsden, Editor - Cricket Online Review Poetry Journal "George McKim's poems are always on the verge of happening, in that happysad place just short of sense, where pure sonic energy spins its truest and most absurd shapes. Found and Lost is a homecoming to the bottomless, where you left your clouds and the keys. It is an impossible space that I don't want to leave." Peter Cole Friedman, Poet "There can be no quibbling over the delight that George McKim's Found & Lost, with its artful assemblage of pre-existing text, provides. The poems are fresh, revitalize the words of others through juxtaposition, incision, and new 'sharp eyes,' to use an included phrase from Tristan Tzara; and the most apt word to describe the visuals, a series of augmented dictionary pages, is 'wonderful.'" Mark Young, Editor - Otoliths Poetry Journal

Download or read book Hotel Almighty written by Sarah J. Sloat and published by Sarabande Books. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visually arresting and utterly one-of-a-kind, Sarah J. Sloat's Hotel Almighty is a book-length erasure of Misery by Stephen King, a reimagining of the novel's themes of constraint and possibility in elliptical, enigmatic poems. Here, "joy would crawl over broken glass, if that was the way." Here, sleep is “a circle whose diameter might be small," a circle "pitifully small," a "wrecked and empty hypothetical circle." Paired with Sloat's stunning mixed-media collage, each poem is a miniature canvas, a brief associative profile of the psyche—its foibles, obsessions, and delights.
Download or read book Unoriginal Genius written by Marjorie Perloff and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marjorie Perloff here explores this intriguing development in contemporary poetry: the embrace of "unoriginal" writing. Paradoxically, she argues, such citational and often constraint-based poetry is more accessible and, in a sense, "personal" than was the hermetic poetry of the 1980's and 90's. --
Download or read book Lost and Found Poetry written by D. M. Russ and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I guess it was around two years ago that I found some poetry that was lost, a gold mine of words, original unseen poetry inside a yellow-stained old diary that dates between 1860 and 1880. I started reading the diary and found myself getting excited with each and every word. I was walking with them, seeing what they saw and feeling what they felt. I decided that since I am an avid lover of poetry and because of the way I felt after reading the diary, I had to share the lost past with everyone. So here we are, two and a half years later: Lost and Found Poetry. This book has eighty lost poems that you have now found. I want you to feel how they felt, see what they saw, hear what they said, live where they lived. So as soon as you open the book to the first page, be ready. You might cry, you might laugh, you will be sad, and you will be happy very religiousbut together, well share what we have found. Lost and Found Poetry. The words are kept in their original format from the diary, and misspellings are the same as in the original. I did not want to take anything away from the words or feeling they wanted us to hear by making corrections. What you will be reading is the original diarys format.

Download or read book Arts Based Research in Education written by Melisa Cahnmann-Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text introduces readers to definitions and examples of arts-based educational research, presents tensions and questions in the field, and provides exercises for practice. It weaves together critical essays about arts-based research in the literary, visual, and performing arts with examples of artistic products of arts-based research (arts for scholarship’s sake) that illuminate by example. Each artistic example is accompanied by a scholARTist’s statement that includes reflection on how the work of art relates to the scholar’s research interests and practices. Arts-Based Research in Education: Foundations for Practice: helps the reader understand what arts-based research is – tracing the history of the field and providing examples; includes end-of-chapter questions to engage students in practicing arts-based inquiry and to generate class discussion about the material; features a diverse range of contributors -- very established scholars in educational and social science research as well those new to the field; represents a variety of voices – scholars of color, queer and straight orientations, different ages, experience, and nationalities; and presents beautiful illustrations of visual art, data-based poems, plays, short stories, and musical scores. First-of its kind, this volume is intended as a text for arts-based inquiry, qualitative research methods in education, and related courses, and as a resource for faculty, doctoral students, and scholars across the field of social science research methods.

Download or read book My Lost Poets written by Philip Levine and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays, speeches, and journal entries from one of our most admired and best-loved poets that illuminate how he came to understand himself as a poet, the events and people that he wrote about, and the older poets who influenced him. In prose both as superbly rendered as his poetry and as down-to-earth and easy as speaking, Levine reveals the things that made him the poet he became. In the title essay, originally the final speech of his poet laureate year, he recounts how as a boy he composed little speeches walking in the night woods near his house and how he later realized these were his first poems. He wittily takes on the poets he studied with in the Iowa Writing Program: John Berryman, who was his great teacher and lifelong friend, and Robert Lowell, who was neither. His deepest influences--jazz, Spain, the working people of Detroit--are reflected in many of the pieces. There are essays on Spanish poets he admires, William Carlos Williams, Wordsworth, Keats, and others. A wonderful, moving collection of writings that add to our knowledge and appreciation of Philip Levine--both the man and the poet.
